Shaun White X Games 16 photos

Shaun White has once again proved his boardriding prowess by winning a silver medal in the Skateboard Vert contest at the X Games 16 this weekend.

Not content with claiming gold in the snowboard halfpipe at the Winter Olympics earlier this year, White returned to the X Games to once again compete in the skate vert contest.

Despite nursing a ankle injury, he still managed to claim silver, narrowly missing out on gold to Pierre-Luc Gagnon.

Look out for more White skate antics in his new video game, Shaun White Skateboarding, dropping later this year.

Here's some photos of him in action:
